Nursing Informatics Australia (NIA)

NIA is one of a number of special interest groups within the main organisation of the Health Informatics Society Australia (HISA), and is the pre-eminent nursing informatics organisation in Australia. The change in focus to primary healthcare, telehealth, digital smart homes and ageing are all changing how nurses practice. Nurses must have input and control over how nursing will be in the future. Information and its related technology are across all facets of health care, with nurses being the largest number of clinicians gathering and using this information.

NIA represents nurses on a number of national and internations organisation's, inclusing National eHealth Transition Authority (NeHTA), Standards Australia, Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) and the International Medical Informatics Association - Nursing Informatics (IMIA NI) providing expertise in nursing and informatics.
